The quick and dirty way: edit /etc/shadow, and replace the $6$-using password with a $1$-using one? the proper way would be to do sed -e 's/sha512/md5/' /etc/pam.d/common-password -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
